Looks very stately. I liked its predecessor better, although it was plagued with lots of reliability issues, and it's successor less. Again, it looks stately. Enjoy!

I love the whole XJ series of Jags, the only thing stopping me from buying one is the amount of maintenance required to keep them running. (Currently getting around in a 10 year old Volvo s70 with 220,000 k's - absolutely unbreakable)

Who else has an old Jag and can confirm/deny how much hassle they are to keep running?

Yes the car is surprisingly reliable. When purchased (I was drunk) i only did new brakes some tuches in the air conditioning and thets it. No problems yet.

Well I don't know if '95 is considered old enough, but one it's been the daily driver in my family for 15 years and it hasn't had a major problem yet.

XJ40 is the ugliest of the XJ series. The squared off body doesn't do it for me.

Jaguars attempt to bring the cars up to date with all the other awful styling of the 80s. Thankfully it didn't last long.

Looks even nicer IRL. He's a bit of a classic car nut. Had a Lancia up for sale a while ago.
